#BEST APPLE TART RECIPE EVER FULL#

If you wish roll out the pastry scraps and cut into leaf shapes. Press the edges together to seal, then use a sharp knife to cut away any excess.Ĭrimp the edges of the tart with a round-bladed knife, using your fingers as a guide. Roll out the second piece of pastry into a circle slightly larger than the pie dish and use to cover the apples. Add the cinnamon and cloves and mix together.īrush the edge of the pastry with a little milk and then pile the apples into the lined pie dish. Place in a large bowl with all but 1 tablespoon of the caster sugar. Place back in the fridge to chill while you prepare the apples. Trim the edges with a knife and reserve the excess for decorating. Divide the pastry into 2 portions, one slightly larger than the other, then roll out the larger piece until it is about 30cm in diameter. Use to line a 20cm pie dish or a 23cm flat plate, gently pressing into the corners. Lightly dust the work surface with flour. Preheat the oven to 190☌ (375☏/gas mark 5). Or you can make your own almond paste, recipe to follow below.To make the pastry: Sift the flour and icing sugar into a bowl. Using a round-bladed knife or the tips of your fingers, work in the butter and then mix in the egg yolks. Add the ice-cold water until the dough just comes together. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes. Whenever I make something with almond paste/marzipan, it tends to not get shared around too much… You can make this tart using the store bought version, I usually buy Odense Almond Paste, since it’s always available at the store. I’ve had this on my list for a while since almond paste/marzipan is Ryan’s favorite sweet thing. I made this tart with a layer of almond paste at the bottom and a layer of apple on top. Or maybe I’ll just make both, that’ll keep everyone happy, won’t it? I kind of love that this tart is so much easier to make than a pie, peeling and slicing only a few apples versus a whole basket, not that I mind once the pie is all done and I’m digging into it with a serving of ice cream on the side. I know a tart is not quite a pie… But it is a cousin, and it is so good that I’m totally considering forgoing the traditional two crusts apple pie for this apple tart at Thanksgiving. However, this apple tart with almond paste filing is! And that means we’ll have to convince Ryan to write up a few posts 😉 cuz turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potato, those are definitely not within my expertise. I really wish I could share everything we make with you guys, but I think it is not possible in one post, or even in one week. But pie, pie is my life!įor the past couple years, we’ve been hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house for my family. I can barely lift the darn thing, let alone cook it.
